DR ANDREW Murrison MP has resigned as Trade Envoy to Morrocco amid the latest government crisis.
It comes after Sajid Javid resigned as Health Secretary and Rishi Sunak resigned as Chancellor.
In a strongly worded letter, Dr Murrison said Boris Johnson's position had become "unrecoverable".
Dr Murrison backed Mr Johnon's leadership bid in 2016, and in 2019.
His letter added: "The last straw in the rolling chaos of the past six months has been the unavoidable implication of Lord McDonald's letter to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards this morning.
"Others must square, as best they can, their continuing enjoyment of your patronage with their personal sense of decency, honour and integrity but I no longer can".
"I strongly urge you to resign", he said.
